years go by, will i still be waiting
for somebody else to understand?

karl lagerfield for chanelsometimes i think all i want to do is run
i'm gonna run from this, run from here
and then i think to myself that i'd only end up back with you
no matter how far i thought i'd gone.
sometimes i think all i want to do is be held
and then the wildness rises up and kicks me in the ribs,
from the inside, and the rhythm says it doesn't work,
you'll never win, give up, retreat now, give in.
sometimes i think i'm the girl who couldn't:
be beautiful, be loved, be whole
and then the light shines and the door of the world opens:
i am flying, untethered, free.

it's hard to say why i wrote those things; call it boredom, call it curiosity. i remember reading an interview with Imogen Heap where she said a lot of her songs are the result of fleshing out one "naughty" thought. so if you're happy, you curl up the corner of the rug, see the dusty shore of things you've swept beneath it, and step into the surf of What Could Have Been...trust me, it looks harmless and inviting, but the current is stronger than you know until it's too late.

it is better to have really loved
than to be the one who walks away seemingly untouched
it is the one who cannot (will not) love
that has really lost everything

Sometimes I wish being so alive didn't hurt so much.
